Peerless Tang Sect: Snow Empress Adopts and Intercepts Jiang Nannan

Chapter 157 You must take responsibility for Ma Xiaotao!

I woke up from a nap.

It was already evening.

Ye Xuanxin felt refreshed and invigorated.

I tidied it up a bit.

Only then did he leave the hotel.

I walked all the way back to my dormitory.

Then Hyotei sat on the sofa with a half-smile on his face.

Jiang Nannan went home, leaving only him and Bingdi in the dormitory.

"Oh? You're back?"

"Ah, you're back."

Hyotei glanced at Ye Xuanxin for a few moments, then sniffed the air with her delicate nose.

He frowned.

"Looks like you've completely slept with Ma Xiaotao?"

Ye Xuanxin's expression froze.

How did you know?

"Heh, do you think I wouldn't be able to detect it with my cultivation level?"

"Ye Xuanxin, you'd better watch your skin."

"If Sister Xue Di finds out, you'll be in big trouble."

"Why is Sister Xue angry about something she already allowed?"

"Tsk."

Hyotei pursed his lips.

How could I not be angry?

If it were her, even if the soul beast race had a tradition of polygamy, she would still be angry.

Do you really think that he can do what the Snow Emperor asks him to do?

In this world, whether it is women or females of other intelligent beings, there are always some things in common, such as saying one thing and meaning another.

A hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

By now, she had long since given up hope of winning back Xue Di.

However, she was still quite interested in seeing Ye Xuanxin get the short end of the stick from Xue Di.

dong dong dong.

A knock came at the door.

Ye Xuanxin turned her head back.

open the door.

There stood a stunningly beautiful woman with a gentle and graceful demeanor at the door.

"Sister Lexuan?"

"Yes, Xuanxin, I heard you're back, so I came to see you."

"Oh, please come in."

Seeing Zhang Lexuan arrive.

Hyotei lost interest in talking to Ye Xuanxin.

He turned around and went back to his room.

Ye Xuanxin didn't stop her, but asked Zhang Lexuan to sit down and poured her a glass of water.

His gaze fell on her face, which was somewhat complicated.

"When did Sister Lexuan get back?"

"A few days earlier than you."

"This time, I'm going with Master Kong to the Heavenly Soul Empire to investigate your background."

"What was the result?"

During this holiday, Zhang Lexuan and Kong Lao went to the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The things about her background are ultimately just Kong Lao's speculations. Although they are highly plausible, they still need to be investigated before they can be convincing.

Zhang Lexuan's expression grew increasingly complicated, and she shook her head.

"What else can we do?"

"Just as Xuanzu said."

"It really was that old master of the Sea God Pavilion who saved me back then who turned against my Zhang family."

"As for the reason, it's nothing more than hatred born out of love for my great-grandmother."

Ye Xuanxin nodded, not at all surprised.

"So, what are your plans?"

"Shrek and you are like enemies now, do you still want to go back to Shrek?"

In a few months, the two-year exchange student program will come to an end.

Shrek and his group should head back now.

"I want to go back."

"Oh? You're going back even like this?"

"I want to ask Old Mu personally if he knew about what happened back then."

"In the end, it was Shrek who raised me all these years."

Even if I sever all ties with Shrek, there are some things I should know.

Zhang Lexuan looked very disappointed.

Even though she was prepared, this incident was still a huge blow to her.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"I came here to ask about something else."

Zhang Lexuan quickly composed herself, shook her head, and forced a smile.

"What's wrong?"

"About Xiaotao?"

Ye Xuanxin had anticipated this.

Zhang Lexuan was stunned.

"You actually didn't hide it?"

"Did something really happen between you and Xiaotao?"

"There's nothing to hide."

"What happened today was her initiative, not mine."

"So what are your plans for the future with her?"

"She's different from me after all; her feelings for Shrek are no less."

"He was genuinely raised by Shrek for over ten years."

"What else can we do?"

"Let's just pretend it never happened."

Ye Xuanxin shook her head, her face indifferent.

Even Zhang Lexuan, with her good temper, couldn't help but let a hint of anger flash in her eyes.

"Xuanxin, you're a man, after all."

"How can they be so irresponsible?"

"Xiao Tao seems impulsive and hot-tempered, but she's also passionate and decisive. Since you said she took the initiative, she must have developed feelings for you."

"If you betray her like this, where will you place her in the future?"

"How could they be so heartless?"

"Sister Lexuan, is this to seek justice for her?"

"But tell me, what can I do?"

"If Xiao Tao's status were more ordinary, I could also take responsibility."

"After all, when you think about it, she was my first woman in the true sense."

"But she is a future high-ranking executive of Shrek Academy, and she is extremely loyal to Shrek."

"And I was destined never to go to Shrek with her."

"What can I do?"

Even if she has feelings for me.

"But isn't my approach the best option right now?"

"Just pretend nothing happened."

"Once she returns to Shrek Academy, and time passes, she'll probably forget about those feelings."

Furthermore.

Even if I'm willing to take responsibility.

"Sister Lexuan, do you think she'll accept me anytime soon, given her proud and aloof personality?"

"I would never do anything that is beneath me."

"Ultimately, this was her own choice; I didn't force her to do anything."

"She's not a child; she has to pay the price for what she's done."

"you!!!"

Zhang Lexuan looked at Ye Xuanxin's indifferent expression, her eyes flashing with anger, but she couldn't find any way to refute him.

He's absolutely right; he's very rational.

But can matters of the heart be resolved by reason alone?

She treated Ma Xiaotao like a younger sister, how could she just stand by and watch her be bullied by this man?

"Then you should at least take some responsibility, shouldn't you?"

"At most, we'll treat her better during her time in the Sun Moon Empire."

"There's nothing more I can do."

"After all, we belong to different camps."

Zhang Lexuan was deflated.

"Forget it, if that's the case, then you shouldn't bother her."

"To avoid even greater pain when we part ways."

"Okay, since Sister Lexuan said so, I'll be careful."

Ye Xuanxin nodded.

No wonder he was so indifferent; he simply couldn't stand Ma Xiaotao's personality.

She gave herself to him, which was entirely her own fault; she couldn't blame him.

Ye Xuanxin is not a gentleman.

"Oh, right."

"I need to talk to Sister Lexuan about something."

"The academy should hold an exchange competition before you return to Shrek."

"Let the students from both sides come up on stage and compete."

"The prizes are great. Get ready, the college should send out a notification in a few days."

"An exchange competition?"

Will you be playing too?

Ye Xuanxin simply smiled slightly, and Zhang Lexuan immediately realized what she meant and said irritably.

"Hmph, now that you, little monster, are out of the game, what chance do the others have?"

"Why don't you just join in too, Sister Lexuan?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'm not kidding. The academy only sent me to participate so they wouldn't lose face, but I don't think bullying kids is fun."

"We need a stronger opponent."

"How arrogant! I am an eight-ring Soul Douluo."

"As for you now, you're at most at the Fifth Ring Road."

"If you go up against me, don't let me beat you to tears."

"Then Sister Lexuan can give it a try. Anyway, if you don't go on stage, it will be the Shrek Academy students who will be crying."

Ye Xuanxin smiled.

He spends most of his time in the laboratory and hasn't practiced for so long that he has no idea what level his skills have reached.

It's a good opportunity to practice on Zhang Lexuan.

It's not shameful to lose anyway.

"oops!"

"I'm going crazy!"

Why would someone do such a thing?

Ma Xiaotao lay on the bed, wrapping herself up like a maggot.

It kept wriggling.

Her face was flushed.

The embarrassing scenes from the daytime kept replaying in my mind.

She felt she must have gone mad.

That Ye Xuanxin is clearly a little bastard and a pervert.

She never gave him a friendly look when she saw him.

Even though, even though after spending more than a year together, she had become blind and developed feelings for him.

But we can't do it like that, can we?

If the two meet again in the future...

What kind of expression should she wear when facing him?

Should I pretend nothing happened and remain indifferent to him as always?

Would it be inappropriate to do this?

Wouldn't it be too easy for him to just give up her body like that?

But if we don't do it this way, we should be gentler.

Could that cause him to have some inappropriate thoughts?

Ma Xiaotao reached out and vigorously rubbed her fiery red hair.

He looked annoyed.

"Hmph!"

"Let's just pretend nothing happened!"

"What happened today was entirely my own choice."

"It's not like I necessarily have to have anything with him."

"If he dares to use this to harass me, I will definitely reject him firmly."

"Tsk tsk, I'm sure I could see how distraught he looked back then."

"Heh heh, serves him right! Who told him to be such a jerk?"

The girl, her mind racing, was just fretting, but now she's flashing a malicious smile.

"Xiao Tao, what are you grinning about?"

"ah!!!"

"Senior Sister, when did you get back?"

Ma Xiaotao was startled and looked at Zhang Lexuan, who had appeared outside the door at some unknown time.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Zhang Lexuan's eyes as she shrugged.

"I knocked on the door for a while but you didn't respond, so I opened the door to see if you were asleep."

"oh oh."

"Feel sorry."

Zhang Lexuan sighed.

Just by looking at Ma Xiaotao's absorbed expression just now, you can tell what she was thinking.

It's quite rare, really. This girl has always been fiery since she was little. Except for a very few people, it's hard to see her in a calm state.

Even towards that little rascal Ye Xuanxin, he showed no mercy.

If she hadn't noticed something amiss this time, she would never have discovered that this girl harbored such feelings.

She originally thought that Ma Xiaotao would never have any romantic relationships with men or women in her life.

It's just a pity

Recalling Ye Xuanxin's indifferent appearance, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She went over and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Senior Sister, you look like something's wrong?"

"Yes, I'd like to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

"A heart-to-heart talk? Senior Sister, I'm not a little girl anymore, why would I need to do that?"

Ma Xiaotao smiled.

"Why not a young girl? Aren't you at the age when you're just starting to experience romantic feelings?"

"Tell me honestly, have you fallen for Ye Xuanxin?"

Watching Ma Xiaotao's smile gradually stiffen and turn into a hint of panic.

Zhang Lexuan smiled slightly.

She lived almost her entire teenage years in hatred; where would she find such emotions?

But that doesn't mean she doesn't yearn for it.

If she could, she would like to be an ordinary girl and have an ordinary love affair.

"Senior Sister, what are you saying? That's not true at all."

"You know me."

"Besides, how could I possibly like a nasty little bastard like Ye Xuanxin?"

"Still pretending with me?"

"You really think I can't see it?"

"Your visit to Ye Xuanxin today to get rid of the evil fire took much longer than before."

"That's because the evil fire retaliated exceptionally fiercely the last time."

Ma Xiaotao couldn't continue her sentence halfway through. At this moment, she was no longer the fiery girl she usually was. She was no different from an ordinary girl. Her fair skin turned red instantly, and she wanted to shrink into the quilt.

Oh no! Senior Sister found out! This is so embarrassing, I can't ever show my face in public again!

"Don't be shy, don't you trust your senior sister? She definitely won't tell anyone."

"What exactly is going on between you and Ye Xuanxin?"

"What would you like to ask, Senior Sister?"

"For example, I'm curious, how did you come to like him?"

After all, they were extremely close to him.

After a moment of shyness, Ma Xiaotao did not hide anything.

"I don't know why."

"Every time he helps me get rid of my evil spirits, I can feel an aura about him that makes people want to get close to him."

"It made my dislike for him continue to decrease."

"I'm starting to want to get to know him. I can't not get to know him, since I have to see him every few days."

"Actually, although he can be a bit sharp-tongued, he's not as bad as people think."

"I don't know when it happened, but I found myself consciously wanting to get closer to him. I think he's very good-looking, and his serious demeanor when he's doing things is very attractive."

"I feel happy when I'm around him."

"Anyway, I became like this without even realizing it."

"There weren't any particularly amazing scenes."

"Could it be what they call developing feelings over time?"

"So, Xiaotao, does that mean you're admitting it?"

"Senior Sister, I never knew you were such a gossip!"

Ma Xiaotao's eyes widened, somewhat displeased.

"I'm not being nosy, I'm just concerned about you."

"I'm fine, Senior Sister, don't worry about me."

"Really?"

"I've heard what you're saying."

"It seems your feelings for Ye Xuanxin have lasted for a long time."
